Oh no, ESPN is cutting back some of their ridiculous programming and going with contracted games? The horror!

Mtv has been hot garbage for literally 30 years.

I know right? Wouldn’t it be great if they stripped MTV’s budget to the point they had to show videos 24 hours/day?

I suspect ridiculousness is even cheaper to air than music videos thats why they play it 21 hours a day.

Yeh probably. The investment to innovate on music video and their delivery methods I suppose isn't cheap and would require a management who really believed in that mission. They'd have to go from making content to delivering it.

Music videos were produced by the record labels and MTV showed them for free. It was free content. You can't get cheaper than free.

Literally 30 years? They had nothing good after ‘92? Be real.

Name one thing they did that would warrant continuing what they are doing now as opposed to going back to their roots of just showing music videos. Mtv was the butt of our jokes by the late 90's.
